The team
Big Peli.
Pelipper @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 248 HP / 196 Def / 52 SpA / 12 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Hurricane
- U-turn
- Roost
- Weather Ball
Pretty mandatory for any rain team. The EV spread is standard along with the moveset with the exception of weather ball in favor of knock off as weather ball can KO a weakened Zapdos switching in as well as deal damage to Kingambit if Peli is the only safe mon you have against it.
The Cat
Meowscarada @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Protean
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Flower Trick
- Triple Axel
- U-turn
I added this mon as a backup againts opposing Mola because of how difficult it is to get rid off as well as a strong Knock off to oposing Slowking. It can threaten any lead Samurrot that isn't using scarf and could KO dragonite even at full Multiscale.
Free Bird
Talonflame @ Choice Specs
Ability: Gale Wings
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hurricane
- Overheat
- Flamethrower
- Air Slash
The star of the show. Choice specs Gale wings Talonflame. It can sweep lategame provided you deal enough damage to the more bulky mon on OP's side as well as ensure you get rid of rocks. This bird can dish out OHKO's to some of the fastest damage dealers without the need of stealth rock support. The main thing you have to worry about is keeping rain up as well as ensuring it stays healthy for gale wings to take effect. I gave this set some fire STABs as it still is useful for it to remove mon such as Corviknight and Threads.
Notable calcs:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Gale Wings Talonflame Hurricane vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Dragapult: 288-339 (90.8 - 106.9%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Gale Wings Talonflame Hurricane vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Iron Valiant: 684-806 (236.6 - 278.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Gale Wings Talonflame Hurricane vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Great Tusk: 678-798 (182.7 - 215%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Gale Wings Tera Flying Talonflame Hurricane vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Darkrai: 294-348 (104.6 - 123.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Blue Face
Ogerpon-Wellspring (F) @ Wellspring Mask
Ability: Water Absorb
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Power Whip
- U-turn
- Play Rough
A helpful mon againts opposing rain teams as well as preventing Mola's annoying flip turns. There aren't a lot of things that want to switch into rain boosted Ivy Cudgels. I didn't give it swords dance because this mon is weak to fast U turns instead I gave it an all out attacker set that would either punish switch ins or u turn out of them.
Mr. Treads
Iron Treads @ Leftovers
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 236 HP / 16 Atk / 36 Def / 216 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
This team does not enjoy seeing Raging Bolt on team preview, which is why this threads is made to be specially defensive with a few EV's spread out for some utility. It mainly tries to setup or get rid of rocks and tank any electric hits being able to safely switch into both of Bolt's STABs.
Wake Up
Walking Wake @ Choice Specs
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hydro Steam
- Flamethrower
- Dragon Pulse
- Draco Meteor
Last but not least we got Walking Wake, it has scarf for speed control and is the main special attacker incase Talonflame goes down. It is a hard counter to most sun teams and can sometimes catch opposing dragon types off guard.
Edit: I messed up, this was the specs build. which slams most slowking on rain
TEAM ISSUES:
This team can have a tough time againts Kingambit endgames to the the lack of Gambit's specific counters.
Stall can be a massive threat because the team's wallbreakers do not have any setup moves nor does it induse status.
Overall lack of refinement since I am not that experienced in the current Meta.
